Wet Streets

 

 

Melancholy attraction

wet streets at night

 

Deep dampness pervades my soul

Misty stillness hangs in the air.

 

Unblinking puddles stare  

                as  mindless pavement listens.

 

Solitary strangers pass by

Leaving vaguely echoing footsteps.

 

Heavy gray skies droop down

cloaking  my soul.

 

A life, off center, off track

Not what was meant to be

 

Silent wet streets cry out

Saying nothing,

Nothing at all.

    A georgous write

    Richard,
    I can't decide if brilliant is adaquate
    or..
    Masterpiece.
    Either way, these words are
    clumsy and at best can't come close to how well written this is..
    Thank you for sharing this..
    How fortunate we are:~)
    Love Peace
